Congratulations! These days that's the equivalent of getting a new job tomorrow.

One friend has been searching for 10 months and he's brilliant. Another had his pay cut in half 10 months ago and has been looking since and just had his first set of promising interviews in that time.

It's brutal out there!

For those searching and looking for good resources first I'd consider joining a job search council: https://www.neversearchalone.org/join-jsc

I know several recruiters and none of them are offering interviews to anyone who wasn't a reference because they find plenty qualified candidates before they get to non-referrals.

This means networking is critical. For that consider reading Taking the Work Out of Networking by Karen Wickre. Though the JSC above also talks a good bit about networking and has networking built in.

Applying cold is still useful but a resume and cover letter needs to be properly ATS optimized, and many (not all) companies filter out resumes if they detect AI usage. So consider hiring quality a resume writer.

And good luck, seriously!

    Request of information in healthcare.

    For those that don't know, it's part patients needing medical records, requests between hospitals, doctors, attorney requests, and medical research requests.

    The amount of security here is simply amazing. I've worked in a lot of industries including other areas of the medical field and I've never seen anything like it.

    Exciting Career Progress (lemmy.world)
     

    As I shared in a few places in March I was laid off. It took 7 weeks to get a job offer. In that time we considered selling the house, moving someplace where we can live on a lot less, etc. We had 1.5 years before we had to make scary choices but still.

    Today the COO said she's scheduling a meeting with me and the CEO (and a few others) to review my progress! Everyone including her is really excited about what we're accomplishing.

    I'm doing tippy taps and thought I'd share!!!

    Evening Movie Contest: 79.16% (lemmy.world)

    My wife has proven to be really good at guessing movies by sound alone. I started tracking without her knowledge initially and we're half way through our movies and she's gotten 79.16% right within the first 10 seconds*.

    To sleep we play a movie, audio only. If we wake up we'll restart the movie. It has to be a movie we like enough for it to be on but not so much we won't sleep. So it not every movie we own, just 106 movies on the list.

    It takes is about 4 months to get through it and I decided this time I'd keep score without telling her as I'm always the one to put a movie on. A few weeks in she said I should start keeping score, I laughed and told her I already was.

    I guess after 25+ years being either we know each other pretty well.

    *The 10 seconds excludes intro sounds that aren't unique. Like the Disney sound.

    Without measurement and without liquefy the subject is very misshapen (watch the timelapse for an example). I have this crooked bias I'm not sure how to solve for. If you solved this for yourself, how did you do it? I'm struggling. And it's really digging into my time budget for high quality renders in ~10 minutes.
